On rocky headlands take time to explore colourful rockpools, while exploring you may be lucky enough to see a curious grey seal or two.

The first hints of spring are visible this month particularly along the river banks of Angus’s many water ways. The majestic willow in all its glory with catkins provides one of the first signs of spring. Our two largest rivers the North Esk & South Esk, not to mention many of their tributaries, are home to riparian species such as otters, heron and the hardy dipper. March is a good time of year to spot an otter on the rivers or at a country loch if you rise with the sunrise. Ponds and burns edged by primrose, lesser celandine and butterbur are now being inspected by frogs and toads that are on the move looking for a safe spot to lay their spawn. Many waterway bird species are establishing their territories this month; look out for grey wagtails and the elusive kingfisher. Habitat hotspot: Riverbanks, ponds, streams What’s on this month Why not preorder a copy of the Angus Council Rangers service Annual Events programme this month and plan your wildlife activities for the year ahead. See www.angus.gov.uk/sportscountryside for more information.

    SMALL BLUE in ANGUS – 2012 SURVEY SUMMARY

    SMALL BLUE in ANGUS – 2012 SURVEY SUMMARY Compiled by Duncan Davidson, East Scotland Branch, Butterfly Conservation Introduction The Small Blue is a UKBAP priority species, which has suffered severe declines in recent decades. This project was set up to help understand the butterfly’s status in Angus and to achieve the following aims over a five year period: gain a definitive view of the distribution of the butterfly and its foodplant, Kidney Vetch identify new and potential sites generate awareness with landowners and others develop plans for the conservation and extension of colonies 2012 was the first year of the project, when it was planned to survey historical sites and identify potential action sites. As a first step, the county was divided into survey areas and volunteers chose particular areas of interest. This was initiated at a volunteer training day in Arbroath, where there was a enthusiastic turnout of 14 volunteers. The following survey areas were designated: Barry Buddon & Carnoustie East Haven to Elliot Seaton Cliffs Lunan Bay, Ethie to Usan Montrose & Kinnaber Friockheim to Balgavies Forfar Glamis Barry Buddon & Carnoustie Because Barry Buddon is a military site, access can be difficult and it was planned that survey work would take place during the annual visit arranged through Dundee Nats and others, on 24 June. In the event, there were five separate sightings of Small Blue and one volunteer recorded Kidney Vetch in a number of other areas. It took one volunteer five visits to Carnoustie dunes before he saw a handful of Small Blue butterflies on 19 June, so sometimes perseverance is required.
